The Rome Historic Preservation Commission recently approved a request for renovation of the building at 1 Broad Street. 

The location, a former home to Gulf Gas, as well as numerous restaurants, will soon be the home of a beer garden called the River Dog Outpost.

This comes after the Rome Alcohol Control Commission approved a beer and wine pouring license.

Owners Mike and Connie Sams said the plan is to open for business in November – and they plan to build a six foot privacy fence separating the beer garden from the Bridgepoint Plaza, adding that they will include an open view of the river in the fence.
